I would add essential oil of your choice to this recipe as well something like lavender would be good or rose geranium for the face do not add more than 3% essenital oils to this facial soap.
That would be 3% of the total amount of soaping oil by weight so for a one pound batch of soap pound (454g) batch of soap that would be 0.48 ounces or 13.6g.
3% of the total amount of soaping oils in a soap recipe by weight.3% of a one pound batch of soap is a total of 0.48 ounces or 13.6g.
I also would forget the mould being in slant best to leave it flat. Split your soap mixture in half once you have reached very light trace this is the point at which the has only just thickened and there is a slight trace of mixture in the soap when you pull the blender out. It will be like a thin batter. Add the essential oils at this point and split the mixture and add the different clays making sure to blend in well so that it is dispersed see tips in the recipe.
Add the soap mixture to create two layers one on the bottom of the mould and the second one on the top by this time the mixture will have thickened nicely so should stay separate.
